The adjective "Linnaean" refers to the system of classification and naming of plants and animals developed by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778). In particular, it describes a hierarchical system of categorization that organizes living organisms into categories of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The Linnaean system is still widely used today as the foundation of modern biological classification.
